1775 THE COLUMNIST UPSET ABOUT THE NEW STAMP ACT BURNT THE HOME OF THOMAS HUTCHINSON WHO WAS THE GOVERNOR OF MASSACHUSETTS AS BEING APPOINTED BY GOURD III SO THEY WERE BURNING HOUSES IN THOSE DAYS BUT PROBABLY THE STAMP ACT WAS A LITTLE MORE EGREGIOUS THAN WHAT WE'RE E DEALING WITH TODAY.

AND THE 8TH LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR ALL FLORIDIANS AND WHERE AS THE CLAY COUNTY COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN HAS IDENTIFIED BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS A HEALTH PRIORITY AREA AND HAS ESTABLISHED A GOAL TO REDUCE THE DEATH BY SUICIDE RATE IN CLAY COUNTY AND WHEREAS CLAY COUNTY IS A STRONG ADVOCATE FOR THE FIRE WATCH PROGRAM WHICH IS FOCUSED ON COMBATING THE EPIDEMIC OF VETERAN SUICIDE BY PROVIDING ONE-ON-ONE COUNSELING AND A SMARTPHONE APPLICATION TO UNITE OUR FIGHTERS AND ALLIES TO SWIFTLY ACTIVATE LOCAL ASSETS, STAND WATCH AND BUILD A LIFESAVING NETWORK FOR VETERANS AND WHEREAS SINCE 1975 NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION WEEK AW AWARENESS EVENTS HAVE BEEN HELD THROUGHOUT THE WEEK WHICH CORRESPONDS TO WORLD SUICIDE PREVENTION DAY WHICH IS RECOGNIZED ANNUALLY ON THE 10TH OF SEPTEMBER AND REDUCES THE STIGMA SURROUNDING THE TOPIC, WILL HELPS LOVED ONES TO KNOW THE SIGNS AND INTERVENE AND

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. HERE WE GO.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THIS IS I'M MIKE FLEMMING THE CHAIRMAN OF THE FIRE WATCH. OUR COMMITMENT HERE IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA THE FIVE COUNTIES CLAY, DUVALL, NASSAU AND BAKER AND ST.

WE'RE FORTUNATE COMMISSIONER ROLLINS -- WE'RE WORKING TOGETHER TO PREVENT VETERAN SUICIDE BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVE A SUICIDE THE STATICS ARE THAT IT AFFECTS 130 PEOPLE PLUS SOCIETY ITSELF AND WE HAVE A ROLE HERE TO DO THAT AND JUST IN THE COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'VE CREATED THE WATCH STANDARD PROGRAM WHICH IS TO HAVE PEOPLE STAND WATCH FOR EACH OTHER AND NOT JUST INDIVIDUAL VETERANS BUT PEOPLE WHO JUST WANT TO CONTRIBUTE AND ALSO WE'RE LOOKING CROSS ALL FIVE COUNTIES AND SEEING WHEN A VETERAN GOES INTO CRISIS HOW IS THAT HAND? HOW DO WE ADDRESS WHAT HE OR SHE IS FACING AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IT'S THE SAME ACROSS ALL FIVE COUNTIES.

THOSE ARE A FEW THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING ACROSS OUR COUNTIES TO MAKE SURE WE END VETERAN SUICIDE AND WE APPRECIATE THE TREMENDOUS SUPPORT WE RECEIVE FROM CLAY COUNTY.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> I'LL SAY SOMETHING.

SURE. ON BEHALF OF CLAY WE'RE HAPPY TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS SERVING VETERANS AND NONVETERANS.

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT MOST PEOPLE DON'T GO TO A MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL FIRST. THEY WILL GO TO A FRIEND, A COLLEAGUE, A FAMILY MEMBER. IT'S IMPORTANT FOR ALL OF US TO BE VIGILANT TO LOOK FOR THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS.

>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> SO DONE.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

I HAVE A FEW CARDS HERE. I'D LIKE TO GET THESE BY SUBJECT MATTER. SEAN POLONIAK.

COME ON UP, SIR. YOU HAVE A TOPIC OF THE ROLLA HAULING AND CLAY COUNTY. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

>> MY NAME IS SEAN AND MY ADDRESS IS 294 -- 115TH AVENUE IN TREASURE ISLAND. NOT IN CLAY COUNTY BUT WE WANT TO OPERATE HERE. SO I'M GOING TO TALK BRIEFLY.

I WANTED TO GIVE YOU BACKGROUND ON OUR ORGANIZATION AND WHY WE'RE HERE AND WHAT WE HOPE TO BE ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH WITH YOU GUYS. I'VE GOT IN YOUR FOLDERS WHAT I'M GOING TO SPEAK TO SO YOU CAN FOLLOW ALONG IF YOU LIKE.

I'M GOING TO START WITH A BRIEF BACKGROUND AND THEN TALK ABOUT WHY THIS IS REALLY GOOD FOR YOU GUYS IN THE END.

WHY IT'S GOOD FOR THE RESIDENTS AND CONTRACTORS HERE.

AND WHAT THE OTHER COUNTIES AROUND YOU CURRENTLY DO AND WHAT ULTIMATELY WE'RE HOPING TO GAIN. SO YOU'LL SEE MY DUMPSTER GUY WE WERE FOUNDED IN 2017. I'M ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF THE ORGANIZATION. WE STARTED VERY SMALL.

WE HAD A COUPLE OF TRUCKS AND A FEW DUMPSTERS AND WE'VE GROWN.

WE HAVE 14 TRUCKS AND ABOUT 600 DUMPSTERS AND WE GOT INTO THIS BUSINESS BECAUSE KIT MY PARTNER WAS A CONTRACTOR AND HE COULD NOT GET DUMPSTERS AND PROVIDE QUALITY SERVICE.

HE SAW THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY. WE CURRENTLY HAUL IN KANSAS CITY AND JACKSONVILLE AND WE'RE IN DUVALL, NASSAU AND ST. JOHNS COUNTIES. WE HAVE JUST OVER 20 EMPLOYEES AS AN ORGANIZATION. THAT GIVES YOU SOME SENSE FOR THE SIZE OF OUR ORGANIZATION. WE NAMED OUR ORGANIZATION MY DUMPSTER GUY AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU UNDERSTAND WHY.

BEING SOMEONE'S GUY MEANS THAT ULTIMATELY THEY ARE A PERSON THAT YOU CAN COUNT ON. WHEN THINGS GO WRONG YOU KNOW YOU CAN COUNT ON THEM. WE CARE ABOUT ETHICS AND DOING WHAT WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO AND WE CARE ABOUT OUR INTEGRITY AND THAT IS THE BASIS FOR WHO WE ARE AS AN ORGANIZATION.

WE ALSO KNOW FOR OUR CUSTOMERS TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE HAVE TO HELP THEM. WE HAVE TO DO WHAT WE SAY WE'RE GOING TO DO. TO MOVE FORWARD WE'RE AN IMPORTANT LINK IN THE CHAIN. SO I WANTED TO TALK TO YOU BRIEFLY ABOUT WHY THIS IS OPPORTUNITY.

WHY THIS SORT OF SERVICES GOOD FOR CLAY COUNTY.

YOU GUYS WANT TO BE ABLE TO AS A COUNTY OFFER LIT OPTIONS TO YOUR RESIDENTS. WHEN I REFERENCE RESIDENTS WE'RE THE BIGGER DUMPSTERS. NOT YOUR RESIDENTIAL OR CURBSIDE. WE'RE HELPING PEOPLE WITH HOME REMODELING PROJECTS, CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.

WE WORK FOR RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL SO YOU WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE GREAT OPTIONS FOR THE BUSINESSES THAT OPERATE HERE IN CLAY COUNTY. MORE HAULERS SHOWS A SIGN THAT THIS COUNTY IS GROWING. MORE HAULERS TENDS TO MEAN MORE PROGRESS AND DEVELOPMENT. THAT THIS COUNTY IS MOVING FORWARD AND IT EQUATES TO MORE REVENUE AND MORE JOBS FOR THE COUNTY. WE CONTINUE TO HIRE MORE AND MORE DRIVERS ALL THE TIME. YOU CHARGE A PERCENTAGE FOR YOUR HAULING. WE WILL ALLOW TO YOU CONTINUE TO DO THAT. IT'S ABOUT COMPETITION AND COMPETITION DRIVES IMPORTANT THINGS.

ONE, IT KEEPS THE PRICE OF HAULING REASONABLE FOR THE AREA.

IT'S EASIER FOR HAULERS TO INCREASE THEIR PRICING WHEN YOU -- WE TRIED TO HAUL IN NASHVILLE.

THEY'VE LIMITED IT TO A SMALL HANDFUL OF HAULERS AND IT'S ABOUT $1200 TO GET ONE 40-YARD DUMPSTERS WHEREAS HERE IT'S

[00:20:10]

WE HAVE HAD TO TURN DOWN A WHOLE MULTITUDE OF PROJECTS.

NINE HERE TWO WEEKS AGO. FIVE LAST WEEK AND ALREADY TWO THIS WEEK AND THE LIST KEEPS GROWING.

WE'VE GOT GREAT COMPANIES IN THIS COUNTY THAT WANT TO WORK WITH US BECAUSE WE'RE WORKING WITH THEM IN OTHER COUNTIES AND WE WANT TO PROVIDE THEM GREAT SERVICE.

I PROVIDED FOR YOU WHAT WE DO IN DUVALL AND ST. JOHN'S AND NASSAU. IT'S A BRIEF BREAK DOWN.

WHAT THINGS LIKE LICENSE FEES, HAULING FEES.

HOW THEY DO THAT. SO YOU GET A SENSE OF WHAT HAPPENS IN OTHER COUNTIES AND WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR -- I PUT TWO REFERENCE LETTERS FOR YOU TO READ THROUGH IT.

THESE ARE DIFFERENT CONTRACTORS THAT WORK WITH US THAT LIKE WORKING WITH US. WHAT I'M ASKING FOR TONIGHT IS ULTIMATELY WE WANT TO PROVIDE THE SAME LEVEL OF QUALITY SERVICE IN CLAY COUNTY THAT WE'RE PROVIDING IN THE OTHER COUNTIES AROUND BECAUSE THERE IS A MAXIMUM CAP WE'RE NOT ALLOWED TO DO THAT. WHEN THE LAST APPLICATION CAME FORWARD WE WERE CONFUSED BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN AS A CURBSIDE AND FRONT-LOAD HAULING APPLICATION SO WE DID NOT THINK THAT APPLIED TO US SO WE DID NOT SUBMIT. WE'VE NOT BEEN ABLE TO SUBMIT SINCE THAT TIME. WE WANT TO PROVIDE GREAT SERVICE FOR YOU GUYS. WE UNDERSTAND IT MIGHT REQUIRE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE ORDINANCE. YOU HAVE AN ETHICAL BUSINESS THAT WANTS TO PROVIDE A GREAT BUSINESS IN YOUR COUNTY.

THANK YOU. >> I HAVE A QUESTION.

PART OF YOUR HANDOUT WAS TALKING ABOUT THE PERMITTING FEE IN DUE

RAW WAS $60 A YEAR. >> THAT'S CORRECT.

>> OUR INTERNAL MEMO SHOWS THAT IS $1500 A YEAR.

>> THIS IS THE ANNUAL BUSINESS LICENSE FEE AND THERE MAY BE ADDITIONAL FEE IN THERE. MILTON, CAN YOU SPEAK TO THAT?

>> THAT'S OKAY. IT DOESN'T PERTAIN TO US.

UNLESS YOU HAVE A QUICK ANSWER, BROTHER.

>> THERE IS A $1500 APPLICATION% FEE --

>> THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE. >> SINCE YOU'RE HERE WE'RE IN THE PROCESS OF REWORKING THIS THING SO STAY IN CONTACT WITH MILTON. I'M OPTIMISTIC.

WE WILL BE HAVING SOME CHANGES. SO IF I MISS OWEN YOU DO GET TO

CLAY COUNTY THEN WELCOME ABOARD. >> THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY. WE'RE EXCITED.

>> THANK YOU. MR. OTTO.

MR. OTTO, ARE YOU THERE? ONE MORE OUT BURST LIKE THAT AND YOU WILL NOT BE TALKING TO THIS GROUP TODAY OR THE NEXT MEETING.

SO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT UNTIL IT'S TIME FOR TO YOU TALK AND THE CHAIR WILL WORK THE TIME AS HE SEES FIT.

THIS GENTLEMAN HAD PERTINENT INFORMATION.

WE DO NOT NEED YOUR -- DID YOU HEAR ME? SHUT UP. HOW ABOUT THAT? CUT HIM OFF TROY. TERMINATE HIM.

NOW WE'LL TRY TO START OVER AGAIN.

IF HE WANTS TO CALL BACK IN WITH MORE RESPECT THEN WE'LL ENTERTAIN HIM BUT I'M NOT LETTING HIM DISRUPT AND TAKE CHARGE OF THIS MEETING. WHERE ARE WE? PUBLIC COMMENTS. YES.

OKAY. HEATHER HOFFMAN.

>> HELLO. WE GOT DISCONNECTED.

7 WE HAD DISCUSSIONED SOME INFORMATION THAT WAS PROVIDED TO US ABOUT PERCENTAGES OF DEATH IN CLAY COUNTY.

YOU MIGHT WANT TO TOUCH ON THAT. >> HEATHER HUFFMAN.

I COME EVERY COUPLE OF WEEKS AND UPDATE YOU GUYS AND HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE SO WE'RE A LITTLE OVER 3800 CASES THUS FAR TO DATE.

I GAVE YOU A HANDOUT. MEDIAN AGE FOR US IS 43.85 SO

[00:25:06]

WE STILL HAVE HAD 7% OF CASES HAVE HAD HOSPITALIZATIONS THAT MEANS EVER HOSPITALIZED. AND THEN DEATHS HAS REMAINED AT 2% MORTALITY RATE. WE'VE NEVER BEEN AT 19%.

I ADDED INTO THE WEEKLY REPORT THAT I E-MAILED YOU GUYS.

LOOKED AT DEATHS 65 AND OLDER AND IN LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES. THE AGE DEMOGRAPHICS AND YOU CAN SEE HOW MOST OF THE CASES ARE IN THE MID-AGE RANGE.

AND THEN AS YOU GET OLDER THE HOSPITALIZATIONS AND DEATHS GET IN THE OLDER POPULATION: MOST HAVE BEEN IN PEOPLE 65 AND OLDER. ON THE BACKHAND SIDE IS YOUR POSITIVITY RATE. WE DON'T TYPICALLY LOOK AT DAILY POSITIVITY RATE BUT THE LAST 14 DAYS ON AVERAGE THE POSITIVITY RATE HAS BEEN 7.23. THAT IS GOOD NEWS.

OUR GOAL WAS TO GET UNDER 10%. THE AMERICANA ACADEMY OF SPEED YACHTEDICS IS RECOMMENDING 5 PERCENT.

AND THE LAST PART IS THE CHIEF COMPLAINT GOING TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM. WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS. THAT THEY ARE SO SICK THAT THEY GO TO THE EMERGENCY ROOM.

AND BOTH ARE STILL IN THE DOWNWARD TRAJECTORY.

WE MAY STILL BE HAVING CASES BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT SO SICK THAT THEY NEED HOSPITAL CARE. AS MANY MAY BE ASKING I DID LOOK AT THE DATA. I GET IT EVERY NIGHT.

YESTERDAY WE HAD 6 COVID PATIENTS ON VENTS AND 58 INDIVIDUALS HOSPITALIZED AND WE SO VERY LOW NUMBERS.

THAT IS GOOD NEWS. SCHOOLS REOPENED TODAY.

WE'VE BEEN CONTINUING TO WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND LOOK AT HOW WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING CONTACT TRACING.

WE WILL ADD ADDITIONAL LAYERS OF NET CASTING IN THE SCHOOL SETTING SO WE STILL DO THE INTERVIEWS AND CASE INVESTIATIONS AND CONTACT TRACING AND MYSELF AND ONE OF MY STAFF HAVE ACCESS TO THE FOCUS SYSTEM WHERE THEY ARE UP LETTING THE -- UPLOADING THE SEATING CHARTS.

WE CAN CAPTURE THE DATA AND QUARANTINE THOSE INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE PROLONGED EXPOSURE ACCORDING TO THE CDC DEFINITION.

I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.

>> THANKS. >> THAT PRETTY WELL SPEAKS FOR

ITSELF. >> ANY TIME CALL ME.

OR TEXT AND WE GET THAT UPDATED INFORMATION TO YOU.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, HEATHER.

JOHN MORGAN. ANOTHER GOOD JOB.

WHAT A GUY. >> GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYBODY.

I'M GOING TO GO ROGUE FOR A OF MINUTE.

I WANT TO POINT OUT HEATHER. WE'RE ON DAY 167 AND HER PARTNERSHIPS ALONG WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND EVERYONE HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL. THANK YOU.

I'M NOT HERE TO TALK ABOUT COVID.

I WANT TO TALK ABOUT STORMS. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF QUESTIONS.

WE SAW MARCO MADE LANDFALL YESTERDAY IN LOUISIANA.

DISSIPATED QUICKLY. THE MAJORITY OF THE IMPACTS WERE IN THE PANHANDLE FROM FLOODING AND THE RAINFALL.

ONE THING IS WE'RE KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON LAURA.

LAURA IS PREDICTED TO BE A MAJOR HURRICANE TO MAKE LANDFALL SOME TIME IN THE OVERNIGHT HOURS OF WEDNESDAY EVENING AND COULD CAUSE MAJOR DAMAGE ALONG THE COASTLINE.

FLORIDA IS WORKING AND MONITORING WITH THEIR NEEDS.

THEY ARE SENDING IN ORLANDO SWIFT WATER USE TASK FORCE TO HELP. PUBLIC SAFETY HAS SOME ASSETS THAT ARE ON STAND BY IF THE REQUEST IS GIVEN AND WE HAVE OUR INCIDENT MANAGEMENT TEAM THAT IS ON STAND BY.

WE'RE MONITORING THEIR NEEDS BUT ONE THING IS WE'RE STILL EARLY IN THE SEASON. HAVE THAT FAMILY PLAN AND HAVE THE FAMILY DISASTER KIT READY. THANK YOU.

>> THANK YOU, JOHN. >> OKAY.

[00:30:04]

>> MR. ADAM CARTER. >> MR. CARTER, ARE YOU THERE?

MR. CARTER? >> CAN YOU HEAR ME?

>> YES. WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW.

IDENTIFY YOURSELF AND GIVE YOUR ADDRESS AND YOU HAVE THREE

MINUTES. >> MY NAME IS ADAM CARTER.

AND I'M A NEW RESIDENT TO CLAY COUNTY.

WE MOVED TO 3612 -- BECOME NEW RESIDENCE AND WE TOOK A LOT OF THINGS INTO CONSIDERATION WHEN MOVING HERE AND ONE OF THEM SEEMED TO BE THAT WE ESTIMATED OUR PROPERTY TAXES WERE GOING TO BE $1,000 AND THAT WAS BASESSED OFF LAST YEAR'S RATE WHICH I HAVE OF $73E OWNER AND I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND MY PROPERTY TAX BILL IS GOING TO BE FROM 26500 -- -- I LOOKED AT ALL OF THE ASSESSED VALUES AND SCHOOL EXEMPTIONS AND THOUGHT IT WAS UNFAIR THAT THEY HAD ALL OFF THE EXEMPTIONS AND I CANNOT RECEIVE ANY AND I CAN APPLY FOR A HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION UNTIL 2021 AND BECAUSE THE PRIOR HOME OWNER MOVED OUT IN 2019 I'M STUCK WITH THE BILL OF THE SECOND HALF OF 2020. I THOUGHT IT WAS UNFAIR BASED ON THE TECHNICALITY THAT THE HOME WAS EMPTY ON JANUARY -- THAT YOU LOSE THE HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR THE PROPERTY.

EITHER THE COUNTY COULD PASS SOMETHING THAT WOULD ALLOW NEW RESIDENTS OF CLAY COUNTY TO APPLY FOR SOME KIND OF EXEMPTION WHEN THEY MOVE IN. BECAUSE I WAS HAPPY TO BE THE PERSON -- WE MOVED IN JUNE. BUT WHAT IF IT WAS NOVEMBER TO JANJANUARY AND WE JUST MISSED TE WINDOW.

I JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF IT THIS YEAR BECAUSE I AM SURE IT COULD HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE IN MY POSITION AS WELL.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. >> THANK YOU, MR. CARTER.

>> MR. OTTO, ARE YOU BACK WITH US?

MR. OTTO. >> YES.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? >> I CAN.

GO AHEAD, SIR. YOU HAVE THREE MINUTES.

>> YES, SIR. -- DECLINED TO HAVE EVENTS BUT THE CDC IS TRYING TO PUSH AN EVENT AT THE FAIRGROUNDS WHEN I ASKED THEM TO MAKE IT A HOMELESS SHELTER FOR THE VETS AND THE OTHER CITIZENS THAT DON'T HAVE A HOME -- TRYING TO HAVE FOOD TRUCKS.

IT'S RIDICULOUS. ALL OF THESE OTHER EVENTS ARE CANCELING TO DO THE SAFETY HAZARDS AND THEN WE'VE GOT THE FOOTBALL AND IT'S ONE THING TO START THE SCHOOLS BACK BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO RUN THE KIDS INTO EACH OTHER AND FILL UP THE HOSPITALS AND CREATE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. I ACTUALLY VOTED FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT AND NOW I'M FINDING OUT THAT HE IS SUPPORTING ALL OF THESE -- RUNNING PAST THE THOUSAND FOOT AREA OF THE SCHOOLS AND RUNNING THEM AROUND. THAT IS WHY WE'VE GOT THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE. WE VOTED TO HARDEN OUR SCHOOLS.

WE DIDN'T VOTE TO HARDEN OUR STREETS.

THEY CAN GIVE THAT INFORMATION TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THEY CAN GIVE THE INFORMATION TO THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE.

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE OUT THERE. WHAT THE COUNTY COMMISSIONER NEEDS TO DO IS REMOVE THE SCHOOL CARS AND GIVE THEM TO THE POLICE STATION. TO THE COUNTY SHERIFFS AND NO BUSINESS HAVING OVER FIVE CARS. THEY HAVE NO BUSINESS SPENDING A

[00:35:01]

AND THEY ARE PRAISING THESE SCHOOLS LIKE THEY ARE CAPABLE OF DEALING WITH THIS STUFF. YOU CAN'T EVEN GET THE PARTS ANY MORE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND YOUR LOGIC SAYING THAT THE COUNTY HAS ALL OF THESE ASSETS AND PUSH ALL OF THESE LOANS. $129 MILLION LOAN FOR TWO PARTS OF THE COUNTY. THAT IS NOT RIGHT.

FOR SOME PEOPLE LANDOWNERS AND BUILDERS DO WHAT THEY WANT TO DO. YOU DON'T HAVE TO APPROVE ALL OF THIS STUFF. THESE CITIZEN BOARDS.

ALL OF THIS STUFF SHOULD BE COMING IN FRONT OF THE COUNTY COMMISSION AND NOT JUST CONSENSUS.

THE CITIZENS SHOULD BE HEARING ABOUT THIS ON THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONER MEETINGS. I'M GLAD WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE NEW OFFICIALS UP THERE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO IT.

I REALLY DO BECAUSE OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS ARE BEING STEPPED ON HERE. I'M NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY LEGISLATION. I'VE SENT IN LEGISLATION -- AND Y'ALL ARE REFUSING TO PLAY IT ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS AND FOOTBALL AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU GET TO BE DOING THIS.

>> OKAY. MR. THREE MINUTES ARE UP, SIR.

MR. OTTO, YOUR TIME IS UP. CUT HIM OFF.

>> NOW CAN HE HEAR ME. BECAUSE IF HE DOES WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A CIVIC'S CLASS. FOR YEARS NOW YOU'VE BEEN COMING TO US SO LISTEN AND I'M HOPING TO ENLIGHTEN YOU.

THE SCHOOL BOARD AND THE CLAY COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS ARE TWO SEPARATE GOVERNMENT ENTITIES.

WE CANNOT TELL THEM WHAT TO DO AND THEY CAN'T TELL US WHAT TO DO. ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME

GIVE-AND-TAKE. >> YOU GIVE THEM MONEY.

>> OKAY. SO WE CANNOT TELL THEM TO DO AWAY WITH THEIR POLICE DEPARTMENT AND IT'S THEIRS.

THAT WAS THEIR DECISION. SO, THAT IS WHERE WE'RE ON THAT.

SO FORGET ABOUT THE POLICE CARS THE NEXT TIME WE TALK BECAUSE THAT IS NOT IN OUR PRIORITY. WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT.

[CONSENT AGENDA]

>> APPROVAL AND SECOND. DISCUSSION.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> SO DONE.

MOVING ON. OLD BUSINESS.

>> GAVIN, DID YOU VOTE, I'M SORRY.

>> YES. I'LL CHIME IN.

>> WHEN I'M LOOKING AT YOU OVER ON THE SCREEN IT'S NOT LIKE LOOKING AT YOU IN PERSON. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE REGARDLESS.

[7.  Appointment of Citizen Member to Serve on 2020 Value Adjustment Board (C. Grimm)]

WE HAVE A CANDIDATE. >> YES.

ON BEHALF OF THE CLERK'S OFFICE AS YOU'LL RECALL AT THE LAST BOARD MEETING THEY ASKED FOR APPOINTMENT FOR THE TWO OF MEMBERS FROM YOUR BOARD WHICH YOU MOVED FORWARD WITH AND THEN THE CITIZEN WHICH HAS TO OWN HOMESTEAD PROPERTY AND YOU'VE HAD MR. RICHARD CLINSMAN HAS ASKED TO SERVED.

THAT IS BEFORE YOU. >> THERE IS A BOARD MEMBER THAT HAS ANY OTHER NAMES TO SUBMIT TODAY? I'D LIKE TO MAKE THE MOTION TO ACCEPT MR. CLINSM AN.

>> AND THERE IS A SECOND. DISCUSSION?

>> I RAN. >>> HIM AT THE FED RATED WOMEN'S CLUB WHEN THEY HAD THE COMMISSIONER DEBATE AND HE ASKED ME ABOUT IT AND I SAID I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GREAT IDEA AND HE IS VERY ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT SERVING THE COUNTY SO I'M WHOLEHEARTEDLY IN SUPPORT OF HIS CANDIDACY.

>> OKAY. THEN ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED SO DONE AND YOU'LL MAKE PROPER NOTIFICATION ALTHOUGH HE IS PROBABLY WATCHING TONIGHT. FUR, CONGRATULATIONS RICHARD.

[8.  Approval of donation of additional surplus mosquito control equipment to the Town of Callahan]

WE DID THIS LAST MEETING BUT WE FOUND A FEW OTHER ANCILLARY

[00:40:04]

ITEMS? >> CORRECT.

SO ONCE THE DONATION WAS APPROVED LAST BOARD MEETING THEN THE FOLKS OVER AT OUR EXTENSION OFFICE WERE GOING THROUGH EQUIPMENT AND IDENTIFIED THESE ADDITIONAL 8 ITEMS AND CONTACTED THE TOWN OF CALLAGHAN AND EVEN THOUGH WE ARE NOT SURE THAT THEY WORK THE TOWN OF CALLAGHAN WOULD LIKE TO SEE IF THEY COULD MAKE THEM FUNCTIONING EQUIPMENT FOR THEMSELVES.

SO WE JUST NEED THE BOARD'S APPROVAL TO DONATE THE ITEMS.

>> I MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> OPPOSED.

DONE. GOTCHA, GAVIN.

[9.  Resolution to Accept CDBG Entitlement Status (E. Lehman)]

ITEM 9. >> THANK YOU, MR. CHAIRMAN.

THIS IS A RESOLUTION REQUESTING BY HUD.

THE BOARD WILL AUTHORIZE THE COUNTY MANAGER TO SUBMIT A NOTICE OF INTENT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021-2023.

>> I'M NOT FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROGRAM BUT FROM THE NEWS I'VE RECEIVED WE NEED TO MAKE A CLARIFICATION HERE.

BECAUSE AS I RECEIVED THE INFORMATION ONCE WE ACCEPT THIS MONEY AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNENT CAN TELL US WHERE WE WILL PUT THE HOUSING. IS THAT CORRECT?

>> NO. IT'S THE OPPOSITE.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT REQUIRES THE COUNTY TO ADOPT ITS CONSOLIDATED PLAN SO THE COUNTY WILL MAKE THE DETERMINATIONS.

THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ONLY DISHES OUT THE MONEY.

BROAD GUIDELINES BUT THE COUNTY WILL DEVELOP ITS PLAN AND DETERMINE WHAT IMPROVEMENTS WILL BE MADE.

IT CAN RUN A GAMUT OF PROGRAMS FROM HELPING TO PROVIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING PROVIDING INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS SIDEWALKS: IT JUST HAS TO SERVE LOW AND HOUSING.

>> WHAT KIND OF MONEY? >> THE ALLOCATION CHANGES EVERY YEAR. AS OF NOW IT'S $1.1 MILLION.

SOMETHING LIKE THAT. >> AND WHAT OF MECHANISM DO WE HAVE TO GET THE MONEY TO THE BUILDERS.

>> THROUGH THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

THE STAFFING CONSULTANT WILL BE WORKING ON AND IT WILL BE

ADOPTED IN AUGUST OF NEXT YEAR. >> DO YOU LIKE THIS?

>> I THINK IT'S A GOOD OPPORTUNITY.

WE DO QUALIFY BECAUSE OF OUR POPULATION AND FROM WHAT I CAN HEAR IT'S A GOOD PROGRAM BECAUSE IT GIVES YOU THE FLEXIBILITY OF WHERE YOU WILL SPEND THE MONEY. THERE ARE VERY FEW STRINGS ATTACHED OTHER THAN THAN PROVIDING FOR LOW INCOME HOUSING. IT CAN BE COMBINED WITH -- TO BUILD HOUSES OR REPAIR HOUSES. DRAINAGE AND SEWAGE.

BUT IT'S DEVELOPED BY THE CONSOLIDATED PLAN.

THERE IS A STRONG PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PORTION OF IT.

AND YOU WILL BE SEEING A LOT OF THAT WITHIN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.

A LOT OF THE NOTICES GOING OUT. WE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE COMMISSIONERS. FROM WHAT I'M I'VE SEEN IT'S NOT NECESSARILY TIED TO IT BUT IT'S FOR LOW AND MODERATE INCOME RESIDENTIAL AREAS SO I WOULD SAY YES.

>> I WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE TO FIX LANDING BUILDING.

THIS COULDN'T BE USED FOR THAT? >> I WOULD SAY THE AMOUNT OF MONEY IT'S NOT SUFFICIENT ENOUGH.

>> WHAT ABOUT THE RIDGE WOOD AREA?

>> IF THE CENSUS SHOWS THAT IS LOW AND MODERATE INCOME THAT COULD BE USED TO PROVIDE HOUSING AND DRAINAGE AND THAT COULD BE A

POSSIBLE AREA. >> I WAS ASKED ABOUT THE STUDY THEY WERE DOING. DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHERE THAT

IS? >> IT'S IN -- PRETTY MUCH DRAFT FORM. THERE IS A NUMBER OF RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THEY PROVIDED BUT IT STILL HASN'T BASKETBALL FINALIZED YET BUT YOU SHOULD BE SEEING A PRESENTATION

IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS. >> MR. CHAIR, ONE OTHER QUESTION. IT BEARS GETTING IT OUT ON THE FLOOR. AND THIS DOESN'T INTERFERE WITH THE INDIVIDUAL MUNICIPALITIES WITHIN THE COUNTY.

[00:45:05]

>> NO. WE HAD TO INFORM THE FOUR MUNICIPALITIES IF THEY INTENDED TO PARTICIPATE.

SO WE SENT LETTERS TO ALL FOUR. THEY TOOK IT TO THEIR CITY COUNCILS AND ALL FOUR DECLINED TO PARTICIPATE.

IF THEY WANT TO PARTICIPATE WITHIN THE CDBG THEY WILL HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE STATE AND THEY WON'T BE AFFECTED BY THIS AT

ALL. >> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL OF THE

RESOLUTION. >> SECOND.

>> DISCUSSION? ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED? >> THANK YOU, ED.

[10.  Presentation of proposed Annual Assessment Rate Resolution establishing the rate of assessment for graded road maintenance of properties within the Hidden Waters MSBU for FY 2020-21 (F. Moss)]

>> I DO HAVE THE FIRST THREE AND THERE ARE THREE SIMILAR ITEMS AND THERE ARE THREE ITEMS THAT WE BRING YOU EVERY YEAR AT THIS TIME. THEY ARE THE ANNUAL RATE RESOLUTIONS FOR -- THE THREE GRADED ROAD THAT WE HAVE.

THE FIRST ONE ITEM 10 INVOLVES THE RATE RESOLUTION FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR FOR THE HIDDEN WATERS MSBU.

THE RATE HAS NOT CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR AND WHEN IT WAS $140.

SO IT'S $140 AGAIN THIS YEAR. THIS IS THE 22ND YEAR.

NONE OF THE MSBU RATES HAVE CHANGED FROM LAST YEAR.

SO IF THE BOARD IS WILLING A MOTION TO APPROVE THE ANNUAL RATE RESOLUTION PRESENTE FOLLOWING ANY QUESTIONS?

>> I'LL MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> OPPOSED.

>> I WAS SUPPORTING IT. I THINK I'M -- JUST --

>> JUST A LITTLE LATE ON THE DRAW GAVIN.

>> LAST TIME I WAS EARLY SO I WAS TRYING TO SLOW DOWN.

[11.  Presentation of proposed Annual Assessment Rate Resolution establishing the rate of assessment for graded road maintenance of properties within the Oak Forest Roads MSBU for FY 2020-21 (F. Moss)]

THIS IS THE 26TH YEAR OF THIS MSBU.

AND THE RATE IS $229 PER UNIT OUT THERE.

>> MOVE APPROVAL. >> SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> OPPOSED.

[12.  Presentation of proposed Annual Assessment Rate Resolution establishing the rate of assessment for graded road maintenance of properties within the Blue Jay Drive Roads MSBU for FY 2020-21 (F. Moss)]

ITEM 12. >> OUR BABY MSBU FOR GRATED ROADS 17. THIS ONE INVOLVES THE BLUE JAY MSBU IN THE BLAH JAY COMMUNITY AND IT COMES IN AT $125 THIS

YEAR. >> MOVE APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> OPPOSED. >> THANK YOU, FRAN.

I I HAD A DISCUSSION WITH SOMEONE FROM STAFF OR I DON'T REMEMBER. SOMEONE WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THIS ROOM AND THEY WERE JUST MAKING A POINT THE OTHER DAY THAT AS LONG AS THESE MSBUS HAVE BEEN PAYING THIS FEE WHICH GOES TO GRATING THEIR ROAD THEY COULD HAVE ALREADY HAD ASPHALT.

IS THAT NOT CORRECT? >> THAT IS NOT CORRECT.

>> JUST SOME SCUTTLEBUTT IN THE HALL.

>> OUR AUDITOR --

>> OKAY. I DON'T WANT EVERYBODY OUT IS THERE TO GET UPSET BUT IT HAD COME UP AS A DISCUSSION ITEM.

>> THE COST TO TAKE ONE OF THESE ROADS UP TO COUNTY STANDARDS AND PAVE IT THERE IS STORM WATER ISSUES AND WETLANDS ISSUES.

IT'S NOT SIMPLY THE RESURFACING OF AN ALREADY PAVED ROAD.

THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU, FRAN.

OKAY. ITEM 13.

[13.  CARES Act Update (T. Nagle)]

>> TROY. >> I'LL TAKE THAT ONE.

I HANDED OUT A DOCUMENT THAT SHOWS OUR SPENDING FOR THE CARS

[00:50:07]

MONEY COMMITTED TO A PO OR MUNICIPALITY OR CONSTITUTIONAL OFFICER OR HAS BEEN SPENT. SO WE'RE OVER $9.5 MILLION.

WE SUBMITTED OUR FIRST REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT TO THE STATE TODAY AND IT WAS SIGNED BY THE COUNTY MANAGER.

SO WE'RE HOPING THAT GETS MET WITH POSITIVE RESULTS AND THEY SEND US THE MILLION DOLLARS BACK SO WE CAN KEEP THE PROGRAMS GOING. ANY QUESTIONS ON THE FIRST PAGE?

>> HOW LONG IS THAT SUPPOSED TO TAKE BEFORE WE KNOW SOMETHING?

DO THEY GIVE US ANY DISCUSSION? >> IN PREVIOUS CONVERSATIONS THEY SAY 2-3 WEEKS. WE WILL SEE.

>> IN THE MILITARY THEY SAY WE FIRED FOR -- EFFECT.

>> SECOND PAGE IS WHERE WE'RE AT ON THE APPLICATION THAT'S WE'VE RECEIVED, APPROVED. THE ONE THAT'S NEED MORE INFORMATION WE'VE DONE A BIG PUSH THIS WEEK TO TRY TO GET ALL OF THE APPLICATIONS AT LEAST REVIEWED AND SITTING IN HEY WE NEED A DRIVER'S LICENSE OR WE NEED THIS INFORMATION.

AS YOU CAN SEE WE'RE AT 30% APPROVED.

THAT IS 30% OF THE PEOPLE WILL HAVE HAD CHECKS BY THE END OF THIS WEEK AND WE'RE CONTINUING TO REVIEW AND WORK WITH THE PEOPLE TO GET THEIR INFORMATION IN TERMS OF DOCUMENTS.

>> IS THIS INCLUDED IN THE 10 HAD MILLION.

>> THIS IS EVERYBODY THAT HAS SUBMITTED.

>> WE'VE SPENT $10 MILLION OR IT'S PENDING?

>> WE'RE RIGHT NOW WITH THE 30% WE WILL BE AT ABOUT $2.4 MILLION. WE WILL CONTINUE TO SPEND 2-$3 MILLION THAT YOU AUTHORIZED AND IF WE'RE NOT GETTING THE REIMBURSEMENTS BACK FROM THE STATE THEN THAT WILL BE A

DISCUSSION WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE. >> THE $3 MILLION THAT WE HAVE EARMARKED FOR PERSONAL AND BUSINESSES IS PART OF THE 10

THAT WE'VE SUBMITTED. >> YES.

WE'VE SUBMITTED THE $2.3 MILLION.

THE OTHER OTHER -- 700 WOULD BP OF THE 10.6.

>> SO WE'RE REALLY IN THE HOLE THEN.

>> WE WOULD BE $3 MILLION MORE THAN.

>> NO. WE WOULD BE $700,000.

>> IF YOU L LOOK ON THE FIRST PE YOU CAN SEE WHAT IS INCLUDED.

-- THAT IS WHAT IS ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE 10.6.

>> YES, SIR. >> SO ANOTHER $1.5 MILLION ON

TOP OF THE 10.6. >> BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO REMEMBER UNTIL I ACCOUNTED FOR IT I CANNOT ASK THE STATE TO REIMBURSE IT. YOU SAID YOU WANT ME TO SPEND IT ON THAT BUT UNTIL I'VE PROVED APPLICATIONS I CANNOT ASK THE

STATE TO REIMBURSE. >> I'M STILL CONFUSED BUT CARRY

ON. >> ANYTHING YOU WANT TO ADD TO THAT AS FAR AS YOUR COMMUNICATIONS.

>> COMMUNICATION TROY AND JOHN HAVE DEFINITELY BEEN IN COMMUNICATION WITH THE STATE DAILY WITH REGARDS TO THIS.

OUR INITIAL ASK AND WHEN TROY PREPARED THIS AND WHAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU IS THE BUDGET FROM HIS BRIEF THAT GIVES EVERY AREA OF A THIRD AND A THIRD AND A THIRD.

SO THAT THIRD, THIRD AND THIRD IS PART OF THE SPEND OF $38 MILLION. WHEN TROY BRIEFED YOU PHASE I PHASE I WAS TO GET US TO THE $9.5 MILLION THE SPEND OF THAT.

AND THAT $9.5 MILLION BY EITHER SPENT OR REQUISITIONS.

UNDER THE GENERAL GOVERNMENT SECTION YOU HAVE THE MUNICIPALITIES WE'VE AUTHORIZED THEM THOSE APPROPRIATED AMOUNTS.

[00:55:06]

WE'LL SEE IF WE GET THIS MILLION DOLLARS COMING TO US AND THAT WILL SHOW THAT THERE IS GOOD FAITH WITH THE STATE TO PAY THAT OTHER 75%. WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK INTO THIS SO THAT WE DON'T OVERSPEND AND THAT IS WHAT COMMISSIONER BOLLA IS GETTING AT. BY NO MEANS DO WE WANT TO BREAK THE BANK ON THIS AND TO EAT INTO THAT 75% SO WE'RE CAREFUL ON THAT. THIS IS A WAY TO ASK FOR THAT 75% AND THAT REIMBURSABLE TO ENSURE THAT THAT GOOD FAITH IS THERE. HOPHOPEFULLY THAT CLA -- CLEARST UP. AND THEN THE SUM SPENT REQUISITION IS THERE AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ACROSS.

>> LET ME ASK ONE MORE QUESTION HERE.

>> YOU'RE SHOWING ON THE BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUALS THAT WE'VE GOT MORE INFO NEEDED ON 58.4% OF THE APPLICATIONS.

SO, THAT IS MONEY WE HAVE NOT COMMITTED YET.

>> THAT IS MONEY WE HAVE NOT COMMITTED YET.

>> AND THAT 50% OF THE APPLICATION OF THE REQUESTS IS

NOT REFLECTED IN THE 10-POINT -- >> THAT IS CORRECT.

>> EVEN THE 1620 BECAUSE THIS FRONT REPORT TO REIMBURSE FROM THE STATE IS BASED ON CHECKS CUT WHICH WE HAVE NOT CUT THE CHECKS FOR NINA PROVED THIS PAST WEEK SO, THAT IS WHY I HAVE MY OTHER NUMBERS -- THE $700,000 IS NOT REFLECTED BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT CUT THOSE CHECKS YET. THAT IS PART OF YOUR ORIGINAL $3 MILLION THAT YOU'VE ALLOCATED FOR INDIVIDUAL AND BUSINESS

ASSISTANCE. >> WE'RE GOING TO ADD ANOTHER

$700,000 TO THE 10.6. >> YES, SIR.

>> AND TO GET ALL THE WAY TO THE $3 MILLION YOU'RE ADDING ANOTHER

1.5. >> IS IT PRUDENT TO SUBJECT THAT WE STOP GIVING MONEY RIGHT NOW UNTIL WE SEE IF WE'RE GOING TO

GET REIMBURSED. >> DO WE STOP THE RECEIPT OF APPLICATIONS OR THE EXPENDITURE OF MONEY.

WE WILL BE STOPPING THE EXPENDITURE AT THE $3 MILLION MARK. IT'S NOT ONLY JUST CHECKS THAT ARE CUT AND TROY CAN EXPLAIN THE OTHER AREAS BUTS IN WERE MONIES ASKED FOR. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT HVAC.

IT WAS $331,000. WHERE DO WE STAND?

>> THAT IS GENERAL GOVERNMENT A IMPROVEMENT.

WE HAD ABOUT A MILLION DOLLARS ALLOCATED FOR THOSE PROJECTS.

WE'VE SPENT ABOUT $300,000. THE ACTUAL HVAC IS NOT INCLUDED BECAUSE WE HAVE NOT DONE THE CONTRACT.

A DIFFERENT EXAMPLE OF THE MONEY WILL BE WE'VE ALLOCATED THE $750,000 FOR THE EXTRACT CENTERS.

THAT BID HAS NOT COME BACK. I HAVE IT IN THE ALLOCATION BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IS A PROJECT THAT WE'RE GOING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH. HOWEVER YOU MAY SAY WHEN THAT BID COMES BACK IN YOU MAY SAY STOP.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THAT BACK. OR THE NURSING.

WE KNOW WE HAVE A CONTRACT THAT SAYS WE CAN SPEND UP TO $500,000. WE HAVE NOT FULLY SPENT THAT BUT FROM THE STATE AND TREASURY PERSPECTIVE THAT IS CONSIDERED

ENCUMBERED MONEY. >> UNFORTUNATELY SIR THE WAY THE RULES WORK IS WE HAD TO SPEND OVER THE $9.5 MILLION TO START ASKING FOR REIMBURSEMENT. THEY ARE NOT REBURRSING ON THE $9.5 MILLION THAT THEY'VE ALREADY GIVEN YOU.

>> I GET IT. JUST TRYING TO MAKE THE ACCOUNTING MAKE SENSE. AGAIN I GOT THIS AS I SAT DOWN.

HOW CAN I ASK INTELLIGENT QUESTIONS WITHOUT HAVING A CHANCE THAT READ IT AND I KNOW YOU JUST FINISHED IT.

[01:00:03]

>> WHAT I CAN START DOING IS I CAN START SENDING THIS REPORT TO YOU THE FRIDAY BEFORE. AS AN END OF THE WEEK RECAP AND YOU'LL HAVE THE FRONT PAGE DOCUMENT ON A FRIDAY SO YOU CAN REVIEW IT OVER THE WEEKENDS FOR THE TUESDAY MEETINGS.

THE SECOND PAGE IS HARDER BECAUSE WE RUN UNTIL MONDAY TO

CUT CHECKS DURING THE WEEK. >> THANK YOU, TROY.

ANYTHING ELSE FOR TROY? >> A BRIEF ON THE BUILDINGS.

BRIEF ON THE BUILDINGS. SO WE'VE ASKED FOR GUIDANCE FROM TREASURY. THEY'VE COME BACK AND SAID IT'S A COUNTY DECISION OF WHETHER IT'S A NECESSITY FOR THE BUILDINGS. I WILL SAY THAT I THINK THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE WAREHOUSE ARE CONSULTANT HAS WRITTEN A LENGTHY DOCUMENT SUPPORTING THE NECESSITY OF THE BUILDINGS. THE INCUBATOR THEY'VE QUESTIONED BECAUSE OF OTHER FACILITIES ADD ROUND.

THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT AND THE WAREHOUSE ARE HIGHER UP ON THE LIST TO BE JUST SPIED. -- JUSTIFIED.

>> NOW THE WE'VE GOTTEN CONFIRMATION EARLY ON FROM THE STATE THAT THEY WOULD HONOR THAT.

WE'VE GOTTEN NOTIFICATION THAT PERHAPS THEY THINK OR QUESTION WHETHER BUYING A BUILDING IS REALLY LEGITIMATE AND FALLS WITHIN THE CARES ACT FUNDING. WHAT BRIAN HAS SAID IS THAT OTHER STATES AND COUNTIES AND MUNICIPALITIES OUTSIDE OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA HAVE PURCHASED BUILDINGS SO WE WENT TO THE IG FOR THE TREASURY FOR A READ AND THE BOTTOM LINE IS WITHIN THE CARES ACT VERBIAGE IT'S DETERMINED IF IT'S NECESSARY DURING THIS TIME TO HAVE THESE BUILDINGS AS AN EXAMPLE THEN IT WOULD BE DEEMED NECESSARY THEN WE CAN PURCHASE THEM.

AS WE LOOK AT THIS WE'RE GOING TO COME TO THE BOARD SEPTEMBER 8TH TO SEE IF THOSE BUILDINGS WOULD BE DEEMED NECESSARY AT THAT POINT. SO WE'VE GOT TWO THINGS GOING ON. ONE THE REQUISITION IS -- 75% AND THEN THE SECOND THING IS THAT WE COULD GET THE BOARD TO VOTE TO SAY THAT THESE BUILDINGS ARE DEEMED NECESSARY.

THOSE ARE THE TWO OF THINGS THAT WE'RE MOVING TOWARDS.

>> IF I COULD ASK THE CRITERIA FOR THE INCUBATOR THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN BECAUSE IF YOU'RE GOING TO MAKE THE CASE THAT'S NECESSARY NOW THEN WE NEED SOME NUMBERS ON THE BUSINESSES IN CLAY COUNTY AND THE TYPES OF BUSINESSES. THE MALLS LOST A LOT OF NATIONAL CORPORATIONS. THAT IS NOT WHO THAT WOULD SERVE SO SOME INFORMATION ON THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL.

>> I THINK THE QUESTION ON THAT AS FAR AS NECESSITY -- IT WAS NOTHING ELSE EXISTED BECAUSE THE TREASURY DEPARTMENT LOOKS TO LEES VERSUS PURCHASE SO THERE WAS NO BUILDING THAT WE COULD LEASE FOR A WAREHOUSE. THERE IS NO BUILDING THAT WE COULD LEASE FOR A HEALTH DEPARTMENT BUILDING.

IS THERE SOMETHING THAT WE COULD LEASE BETWEEN NOW AND DECEMBER TO OPERATE AS A BUSINESS RESTART OR BUSINESS -- INCUBATOR.

IS THERE OTHER SPACE AVAILABLE TO LEES?

-- LEASE. >> THAT WAS EVERYTHING THAT I

HAD, SIR. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR TROY?

>> AT WHAT POINT WILL WE KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET REIMBURSED AND THAT WE COULD REINSTATE OUR CIP PLAN FOR

FIXING OUR ROADS AND SEWERS? >> THE PLAN FOR CIP WAS REALLOCATE THAT $15 MILLION BACK TO THE ROADS AND THE OTHER PROJECTS PERHAPS IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER.

IT COULD BE EARLIER THAN THAT IF WE FIND OUT THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THESE BUILDINGS.

>> I'LL WRITE THAT DOWN. THANK YOU.

>> AND THE OTHER THING AT THAT POINT WHETHER WE EXPAND OUR BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUAL ASSISTANCE BY A CERTAIN AMOUNT AND ALSO THE NONPROFITS, THIS IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND WE NEED TO GET IT OUT BY DECEMBER 30TH BUT THAT BECOMES

[01:05:04]

>> AGREED. MORE IMMINENT NEEDS.

>> WE'VE COMMITTED $10 MILLION, RIGHT?

>> WELL PART OF THAT $10 MILLION INCLUDES MONEY FOR THE BUILDINGS SO IF WE DON'T GO THROUGH WITH THE BUILDINGS THEN WE'RE WELL

UNDER THE $10 MILLION. >> I DON'T THINK SO.

>> I THINK WE'RE TALKING ABOUT TWO DIFFERENT $10 MILLION.

>> THE $10 MILLION THAT WE'VE ALREADY SPENT IS WHAT COMMISSIONER BOLLA IS REFERRING TO.

-- >> IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHAT WE SEE IN TERMS OF REIMBURSEMENT FROM THE STATE OBVIOUSLY BUT CERTAINLY WE KNOW MOVING FORWARD THE CRITERIA THAT WE PUT FORWARD FOR INDIVIDUALS AND BUSINESSES THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED SO WE CAN EXPAND THAT. GOING THROUGH THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE APPLIED WE'RE GOING TO GO WELL BEYOND THE NEED FOR $3 MILLION TO GET ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE ASSISTANCE.

>> IT WOULD BE A MATTER OF CASH FLOW FOR THE COUNTY.

BUT OTHER THAN THAT YES YOU COULD REALLOCATE AND SAY YOU'RE GOING TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON OTHER PARTS OF THE PLAN.

>> IT'S A JELLO SITUATION AS SOMEBODY ONCE SAID HERE ON THE

BOARD. >> GENTLEMEN, SIR.

-- YES, SIR. >> ANYTHING ELSE FROM THE BOARD? THANK YOU, TROY. I'M SURE YOU'RE STAYING ON THIS

EVERY DAY. >> EVERY DAY.

>> ITEM 14. WE'RE GOING TO SKIP.

[15.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Final Public Hearing To Consider Rezoning Application Z-20-08 RC to AR (PC Vote 7-0 to Approve) (C. Williams)]

>> WE DON'T NEED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING.

ANYONE WANT TO -- SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM?

[01:10:13]

>> JAMES, OTTO. -- AND THIS BRINGS ME BACK TO THE DAYS WHEN WE HAD THE DISCUSSION OF THE CHICKENS.

HOW HAS IT BEEN GOING? NO MORE QUESTION AND ANSWER.

I'M SORRY. THAT WAS -- WELL YOU KNOW.

ANY WAY ARE THE LAWS STILL THE SAME WITH THE CHICKENS.

YOU CAN ONLY EAT THE EGGS. YOU CAN'T KILL THE CHICKENS.

THAT IS THE WAY YOU GUYS WROTE IT UP.

NOW YOU CAN KILL THE CHICKENS. YOU JUST CAN'T HAVE THE ROOSTERS RIGHT. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE I HAD THAT STRAIGHT. YEAH.

HMMM. JUST DWELLING ON THAT.

>> MR. OTTO, DO YOU HAVE A PRESENTATION OR ARE YOU JUST UP

HERE KILLING TIME? >> NOT REALLY KILLING TIME.

I THOUGHT YOU COULD HEAR ME BETTER.

>> I CAN HEAR YOU BUT I'VE NOT HEARD YOU SAY ANYTHING YET.

>> YEAH. I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE

CHICKENS. >> WE'RE TALKING ABOUT REZONING

FOR THIS APPLICATION. >> IS IT GOING BACK TO A.

>> THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. REMEMBER MR. LONDON'S TALK? ARE YOU REZONING IT DOWN OR UP? AGRICULTURAL FRINGE.

I DIDN'T SEE IT ON HERE. MY BAD.

RC TO AR. AGRICULTURE SO -- WE'VE STILL GOT THE BIG FARM OVER THERE. OFF OF NIGHT BOX.

RIGHT? EVERYBODY KNOW WHERE THAT IS? GRANDFATHERED IN, RIGHT? THANK YOU.

COMMISSIONER BOLLA. >> OKAY.

MY DISTRICT. I MOVE APPROVAL.

>> SECOND. >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

ALL OPPOSED. SO DONE.

>> CHECK WITH COMMISSIONER ROLLINS.

[16.  5:00 Time Certain or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Final Public Hearing to consider adoption of CPA 2020-01 (C. Morgan)]

>> I VOTED WITH THE MAJORITY. >> CAROLYN.

"ALL BETS ARE OFF" " ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

>> THANK YOU. THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER ADOPTION OF TEXT AMENDMENT 2020-01.

TO ADD SEVERAL PERMITTED USES. THE POLICY WOULD APPLY WITHIN THE DOCTORS INLET PLANNING DISTRICT TO MR. BOLLA'S DISTRICT. APPLICANT IS MR. MILLER.

AGENT FOR HELP TIME, LLC AND THE BOARD VOTED TO TRANSMIT THIS TO THE DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY IN MAY OF 2020.

THE POLICY IS TO ADD 2900 SQUARE FOOT DOUGHNUT SHOP WITH A DRIVE THROUGH, A GROCERY STORE OF LESS THAN 65,000 SQUARE FEET WITH A

[01:15:04]

>> AMENDS IT 2007, RIGHT? FROM SIX TO -- SEVEN.

>> YES, SIR. SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO ADOPT CPA2020-01. THIS IS A RECOMMENDATION TO ADOPT THIS ORDINANCE TODAY FOR CPA2020-01.

>> IS THE APPLICANT HERE? COME ON UP, BROTHER.

>> THANK YOU. MY NAME IS FRANK MILLER.

225 WATER STREET IN JACKSONVILLE T FLORIDA.

AND I'M REALLY AVAILABLE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS BUT JUST TO REFRESH YOUR RECOLLECTION. THIS IS A DESIRED A CHANGE OR ADD TO THE USES THAT ARE ALLOWED IN THE RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD CENTER. BUT I THINK CAROLYN THE LIMIT ON THE SIZE OF THE GROCERY STORE HAS BEEN REDUCED TO 52,000.

NOT 55,000. SO I'M AVAILABLE TO ANSWER

QUESTIONS. >> I LIKE THE IDEA OF A DRIVE THROUGH PHARMACY AND I ALSO LOVE DOUGHNUTS.

WHAT ELSE IS GOING IN THERE, FRANK?

>> THEY DON'T KNOW YES. THE OTHERS WOULD BE RETAIL RESTAURANT FACILITIES AND THEN ON THE BOOK SIDE THEY HAVE SPACE FOR OFFICE. AT LEAST ON THE SITE PLAN THEY

ARE WORKING WITH NOW. >> OKAY.

I'VE NOTICED THAT THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED FOR DENIAL ON THIS 5-2 AND I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THAT MEETING NOR HAVE I SEEN THE TAPE. WHAT WAS THEIR CONCERNS?

>> THEIR CONCERN WAS THE DISCUSSION ABOUT THE AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT MIGHT BE GENERATED ON TINES BOULEVARD.

BUT THIS HAS BEEN DESIGNATED SINCE 2013 SO THE ISSUE ABOUT ADDING THE GROCERY STORE AND THE PHARMACY AND TO RAISE IT 2007 ACRES IS -- A POTENTIAL INCREASE SO THE NUMBER OF TRIPS THAT MIGHT BE GENERATED BUT IT WAS ALWAYS GOING TO BE A

COMMERCIAL LOCATION SINCE 2013. >> WE HAVE A SIMILAR SITUATION IN LAKE AS BERRY. PROBABLY BIGGER THAN THIS WITH TWO SCHOOLS. AND I'VE NOT SEEN ANY TRAFFIC CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN GENERATED OUT OF THAT PARTICULAR BUSINESS SITE SO SO I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS WOULD BE ANY DIFFERENT.

>> THAT IS WHAT IS AGGREGATED THIS.

THERE ARE TWO SCHOOLS IN THE AREA AS WELL.

THEY HAVE A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT THEY PUT IN TINES.

THE CONCEPT IS YOU'VE GOT PEEK LOADING DURING THE SCHOOL WHEN IT STARTS AND FINISHES BUT DURING THE RESTER OF THE TIME IT'S OKAY. I THINK EVENTUALLY WE'LL HAVE TO DO SOMETHING WITH TINES BUT THE NEIGHBORS IN THE AREA REALLY NEEDS A GROCERY STORE. THEY HAVE TO GO OUT ON THE ACCESS ROADS TO GET TO THE GROCERIES AND THEY GO TO BLANDING BOULEVARD SO IF WE HAD ONE UP THERE.

I JUST DON'T WANT IT TO TURN INTO A STRIP MALL.

>> AND PROBABLY LIKE -- THEY WOULD LIKE A DOUGHNUT SHOP TOO.

>> I'VE HAD SEVERAL OCCASIONS DURING HOA MEETINGS TALKING ABOUT WHAT COULD GO IN THERE AND RESTAURANTS ARE BIGOT LIST AND A GROCERY STORE IS AT THE TOP SO THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH WHAT I

THINK THE NEIGHBORS REALLY NEED. >> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE

APPLICANTS? >> IF I COULD WE DID PROVIDE A TRAFFIC ENGINEER'S EVALUATION OF THE IMPACT OF THIS DEVELOPMENT ADDING THE GROCERY STORE TO THE PROJECT AND ACTUALLY HIS CONCLUSION WAS THAT IT WOULD NOT INCREASE THE TRAFFIC ON TINES SIGNIFICANTLY AT ALL. IT WAS THE MORNING IT REDUCED IT. AND THEN IT WOULD ALSO WITHDRAW TRAFFIC FROM BLANDING AND THE ROADS GOING UP INTO OAKLEY.

>> OKAY. SO WE'RE -- I THINK THAT WILL

[01:20:10]

WE'LL OPEN UP TO PUBLIC HEARING FOR THOSE WILLING TO SPEAK EITHER FOR OR AGAINST. MR. OTTO, I SEE YOU COMING UP.

>> YES, SIR. -- I ACTUALLY WAS AT THE MEETING. I WAS -- YEAH.

PAYING ATTENTION TO IT. MY QUESTION IS IF IT WAS APPROVED IN 2013 WHY WASN'T IT DONE IN 2013? COMING AND ASKING FOR IT NOW WHEN WE'VE GOT HUGE PROBLEMS ON TINES BOULEVARD. Y'ALL ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY TO SPEND IN THE AREA. IT'S ONE MORE THING ON TOP OF ANOTHER THING ON TOP OF OF ANOTHER THING TO GET THE TWO DISTRICTS. THE $129 MILLION.

SO YOU KNOW I WAS THERE AND THE PEOPLE WERE REALLY UPSET THERE WAS A TOW TRUCK PLACE. WASN'T THAT THE ISSUE.

>> DIFFERENT ISSUE? >> SORRY SIR.

DIDN'T MEAN TO GET OFF TRACK THERE.

I THOUGHT IT WAS THIS ISSUE. WHY NOT THE FIRST TIME THEY GET THIS 7 ACRES ADDED INTO THE PLAN BACK THEN.

TO COME NOW WHEN THERE IS ALL OF THIS APPROVED BUILDING AND IT'S NOT EVEN BUILT UP YET. YOU GUYS HAVE APPROVED SO MUCH AGAIN THAT CITIZENS DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON.

AND I REALLY APPRECIATE THE NEW BOARD COMING ON BECAUSE HOPEFULLY THINGS ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

BUT I KNOW I GET ON THAT -- BRAND NEW FIELD -- I'M SORRY AND SOMEHOW I GET TRICKED TO GET ON THE DANG TOLLWAY AND I GET SENT $3 MILLION AND THIS IS LIKE MAYBE ONCE A MONTH.

I'M GOING TO GET USED TO IT BUT WHAT ABOUT THESE CITIZENS THAT ARE GETTING TRICKED TO GET ON THE TOLLWAY.

>> THAT IS NOT THE TOPIC OF THIS PUBLIC HEARING SO STAY ON POINT.

>> RIGHT. >> WHY ARE WE IN A PUSH RIGHT NOW. EVERYBODY IS TRYING TO WORK FROM HOME. TRYING FOR GET EVERYTHING RESIT SITUATED LIKE WHEN THEY SHUT THE GOVERNMENT DOWN.

EVERYTHING GOT REMOVED AROUND. Z -- THIS FLOODING WAS MADE BECAUSE YOU KEEP BUILDING AND BUILDING AND TAKING OUT TREES LIKE YOU DID IN THIS PARKING LOT.

THEY DON'T NEED TO BE REMOVED. IF THE BUILDERS CAN'T BUILD AROUND THE TREES THEN THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING IT.

>> YOUR TIME IS UP, MR. OTTO. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

ANYONE ELSE THAT NEEDS TO SPEAK DURING THIS PUBLIC HEARING.

ALL RIGHT. WE CLOSE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND

BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. >> MOVE APPROVAL.

>> THERE IS A MOTION FOR APPROVAL.

A SECOND? >> SECOND.

>> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> OPPOSED IN SO DONE.

[17.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - First Public Hearing to consider CPA 2020-06 IVC Text Amendment (C. Morgan)]

1.4. SO AND IT'S L.A. VILLAGE CENTER.

THE APPLICANT IS YONG VILLAGE SERVICES.

THE PLANNING COMMISSION VOTED TO APPROVE AND AMENDED APPLICATION ON THE 4TH OF AUGUST. THE AMENDED -- THE PROVISIONS

[01:25:01]

JUST TO FURTHER EMPHASIZE THAT IT'S AN INNER CHANGE VILLAGE CENTER. THE APPLICANT ACCEPTED THE PLANNING COMMISSION'S RECOMMENDATION TO RETAIN THE LANGUAGE THAT IS STATING THAT THE LOCATION OF THE TWO VILLAGE CENTERS ARE AT STATE ROAD 16 AND COUNTY ROAD 739 SO OUR ORIGINAL APPLICATION TOOK THAT OUT BUT OF THE PLANNING COMMISSION SAID THEY WANTED THAT SENTENCE IN AND THE APPLICANT ACCEPTED THAT SO, ITS COMING TO YOU TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL.

AND THIS WILL BE A TRANSMITTAL AGAIN SO THIS IS NOT YOUR FINAL

ACTION ON THIS ITEM. >> THE APPLICANT WISH TO SPEAK?

>> GOOD EVENING. SUSAN FRAZIER.

THE POLICY WAS WRITTEN WHEN THE INTERCHANGE VILLAGE CENTERS WERE ADDED TO THE MASTER PLAN AND AT THAT TIME THE EXPRESSWAY WAS A PRETTY LINE ON A PRETTY MAP AND THERE WAS NO MONEY ASSOCIATED WITH THE CONSTRUCTION SO THE LIMITATIONS THAT YOU SEE IN THE POLICY TODAY WAS BASES IT APPEARED TO BE A SPECULATIVE LAND USE AND THE COUNTY DIDN'T WANT TO SEE COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT AT AN INTERCHANGE THAT DIDN'T EXIST YET.

OF COURSE WE KNOW THE ROAD IS FUNDED AND THIS WILL ALLOW THE OWNER OF THE VILLAGE CENTER THE INTERCHANGE ON HENLEY AND AT STATE ROAD 16 TO PROCEED WITH DEVELOPMENT ANYTHING THAT YOU WOULD DO AT THIS TIME WILL NOT BRING CONSTRUCTION FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS ANY WAY SO IT ALLOWS US TO PLAN AND MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT DEVELOPMENT IN THAT LOCATION THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE NOW FUNDED EXPRESSWAY SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONSIDER THIS FOR TRANSMITTAL AND WE'RE HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.

>> ANY QUESTIONS? SINCE THIS IS IN MY DISTRICT I HAVE TO DRIVE-BY IT. WHAT I DO LIKE ABOUT IT IS IT MINIMIZES THE DEVELOPMENT ON THE HENLEY ROAD AREA.

IT'S NOT OFFENSIVE FROM SEEING IT AS YOU DRIVE-BY.

>> YES. THAT WOULD BE THE CASE.

>> WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING.

THOSE THAT WISH TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST.

MR. OTTO. >> YES, SIR.

JAMES OTTO. YEAH, I WOULD JUST ASK THE BOARD TO FLAT OUT NOT APPROVE ANYTHING DURING A MORATORIUM UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS CORONAVIRUS FIGURED OUT BETTER.

AND UNTIL WE CAN GET THIS GROWTH UNDER CONTROL.

STRAIGHT UP. IT'S OUT OF CONTROL.

IT REALLY IS. YOU'VE GOT FOLKS COMING IN HERE LEFT AND RIGHT THAT HAVE PROBLEMS WITH DRAINAGE AND ALL OF THESE OTHER ISSUES AND WE JUST IGNORE THEM.

AND WE JUST KEEP APPROVING THINGS.

KEEP PUTTING IN ASPHALT. KEEP PUTTING -- TEARING OUT TREES CAUSING DRAINAGE PROBLEMS. IT JUST MAKES ME SICK THAT I'VE BEEN HERE FOR 18 YEARS AND I LOOK BACK AT THIS COUNTY AND HOW THE LAST TWO BOARDS HAVE DESTROYED IT.

MR. LONDON WE PAID ALL OF THAT MONEY TO COME IN HERE AND TELL US WHAT WE HAD. AND WHAT WE HAD -- OLD TOWN, OLD SCHOOL. THAT IS WHAT PEOPLE COME AND VISIT. AND INSTEAD WE WANT TO PUSH THE FAIRGROUNDS AND NOT GIVE THE HOMELESS PEOPLE A PLACE TO STAY.

VERY SAD. >> ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK ON THE

[01:30:05]

WE'LL NOW CLOSE THAT AND BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD FOR

DECISION. >> IN FAVOR OF THIS?

>> I AM AND IF PERMISSIONABLE I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> IS THERE A SECOND? >> ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED? THANK YOU.

[18.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing regarding Annual Rate Resolution for Solid Waste Disposal Assessments for FY 2020-21 (F. Moss/T. Jolley)]

SEE. >> I AM.

>> THIS IS ALSO AN ANNUAL OCCURRENCES FOR THE BOARD AT THIS TIME. WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE BOARD TO TAKE COMMENT ON THE ADOPTION OF THE ANNUAL RATE RESOLUTION FOR THE SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL ASSESSMENT FOR THE UPCOMING YEAR. THE REASON WE HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING IS UNDER THE ASSESSMENT RULES IF THERE IS A NEW PARCEL OF PROPERTY FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE TO RECEIVE NOTICE.

AND EVERY YEAR AS WE HAVE NEW SUBDIVISIONS AND NEW PARCELS COME ON-LINE THOSE PEOPLE ARE ENTITLED TO GET DIRECT NOTICE OF THIS ASSESSMENT COMING UP. THIS ONE LIKE I SAID IS FOR DISPOSAL. THE DISPOSAL ASSESSMENTS $72.

SAME AS LAST YEAR, TANYA. AND IN ORDER FOR THE ASSESSMENT TO GO ON TO TAX BILLS IN NOVEMBER WE'RE ASKING THE BOARD TO APPROVE THIS RESOLUTION. AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING.

>> ALL RIGHT. WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING ON

THIS SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL RATE. >> THANK YOU.

I NOTICE THAT YOU DIDN'T HAVE A JANITOR THE LAST FEW TIMES.

SO I'M GOING TO STAY ON TOPIC. I JUST WANT TO THANK LETTERMAN FOR WHAT HE IS DOING. SO, I WOULD LIKE TO TAKE YOU BACK A FEW YEARS TO WHEN MR. SMITH WAS HERE.

AND HE WOULD ALWAYS COME UP HERE AND SAY THE SAME THING OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. IT'S MUCH CHEAPER TO DUMP YOUR TRASH IN CLAY COUNTY. AND I REMEMBER MRS. HUTCHINSON SAYING THE COUNTY IS NOT GOING TO BUY A DUMP BECAUSE I SUGGESTED BY THE TRUCK STOP. THERE IS A PERFECT PLACE.

A HUGE PIECE OF LAND. YOU COULD DIGIT OUT AND SELL THE DIRT TO THE NEW HIGHWAY THAT YOU HAVE GOT GOING ON.

MAYBE YOU COULD GET A PORTION OF THAT IF YOU WORKED A DEAL OR SOMETHING. MAYBE THAT WOULD BE AWESOME.

BUT I DON'T WANT TO GO INTO PAST ISSUES WITH HAVING TO GO TO GEORGIA AND EVERYTHING. THAT IS A WHOLE OTHER ISSUE THAT IF WE WERE TAKING CARE OF OUR OWN TRASH RIGHT HERE IN CLAY COUNTY WE WOULD NOT HAVE HAD ALL OF THOSE EXPENSES AND EVERYTHING ELSE GOING ON. BUT WE REALLY NAMED TO RELOOK AT THIS WHILE WE HAVE SOME LAND. AND THAT GENTLEMAN HAD A GREAT HUGE SMILE ON HIS FACE. IS THAT THE GUY THAT OWNS THE PROPERTY UP THERE? I THINK HE IS.

I MIGHT BE WRONG. BUT WHOEVER OWNS IT WOULD SURELY LOVE PUTTING A DUMP UP THERE. I WOULD APPRECIATE THE NEW BOARD THAT IS COMING ON TO RELOOK AT THAT.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY CARES MONEY COULD GO INTO THAT BUT I WOULDN'T THINK SO. BUT YOU KNOW MR. SMITH WAS NOT JUST A TEACHER IN THIS BOARD ROOM RIGHT HERE.

HE WAS A SCHOOLTEACHER. AND I HOPE ONE OF THESE DAYS WE HAVE A SCHOOLTEACHER UP THERE WHERE YOU GUYS ARE AT.

I THINK THAT WOULD BE AWESOME. I ASKED THE CITIZENS TO GO BACK AND RELOOK AT THE STREAMING VIDEOS WHERE MYSELF AND MANY OTHER CITIZENS HAVE COME IN HERE AND JUST THE DRAINAGE DITCHES THAT THEY RUN OVER AND NOW THIS IS AN ASK FOR MORE MONEY.

[01:35:01]

BUT ANY WAY AGAIN FOR MR. SMITH LET'S DUMP OUR OWN TRASH HERE IN CLAY COUNTY AND TAKE THE OTHERS AND GET THE REV. FEW AND SELL MAYBE THE DIRT TO THE OUTER BELTWAY YOU KNOW AND IT'S DEFINITELY A NEW DAY AND WE NEED TO LOOK AT OUR OPTIONS WITH WHAT WE'VE GOT. THE NEW COMMISSIONERS I KNOW MRE BEFORE HE GOT ELECTED. UNFORTUNATELY SOME OF THE OTHER CANDIDATES COMING IN MAY NOT FEEL LIKE THEY SHOULD COME IN BUT I WOULD THINK THAT THEY ARE WATCHING.

SORRY SIR. GOT A LITTLE OFF THERE.

ANY WAY I THINK THERE IS A CHANGE THERE GOING ON THE WASTE DISPOSAL. YOUR CHEER LEADER IS OVER HERE.

OKAY. THANK YOU, SIR.

>> THANK YOU, MR. OTTO. >> I'M STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHERE 301 AND 295 IS. THANK YOU, MR. OTTO.

HAVE A SEAT. YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT IS.

>> NO. NOT OFFHAND.

ANY OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS? ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL CLOSE THE PUBLIC COMMENT. BRITS BACK TO THE BOARD FOR DECISION. JAZZ I'LL MOVE TO APPROVE IT.

IS THIS FIRST HEARING? >> FINAL.

>> OKAY. AND ONE THOUGHT THIS IS ONE FEE THAT THE COUNTY HAS ACTUALLY REDUCED SINCE WE STARTED IT.

WE WENT FROM 84 DOWN TO 72 AND WE'VE STAYED AT 72.

SO THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN VERY OFTEN SO I WANTED TO MAKE SURE AND POINT THAT OUT THAT OUR STAFF HAS DONE A GOOD JOB HELPING US KEEP IT DOWN AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.

>> WE HAVE A MOTION. IS THERE A SECOND.

>> SECOND. >> FURTHER DISCUSSION?

>> THIS DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ACTUAL WASTE MAN MANAGEMENT CONTRACT. THIS IS WHAT THE COUNTY HAS TO

ASSESS. >> CORRECT.

>> IT'S THE COST OF DISPOSAL. THE ASSESSMENT THAT GOES ON THE

TAXPAYERS BILLS. >> THIS TAKES IT FROM ROSEMARY HILL TO GEORGIA OR WHERE EVER WE DISPOSE OF IT.

SO I'M GOOD. >> OKAY.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. OPPOSED?

>> I'M VOTING AGAINST IT. >> OKAY.

SO NOTED. ITEM PASSES.

[19.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public Hearing regarding Annual Rate Resolution for Solid Waste and Recovered Materials Collection Services Assessments for FY 2020-21 (F. Moss/T. Jolley)]

MOVING ON TO 19. >> THIS IS THE COMPANION.

THE COLLECTION ASSESSMENT. TWO DIFFERENT FUNDS THAT THE COUNTY HAS. ONCE AGAIN SAME AS THE LAST ONE WHEN NEW PARCELS ARE CREATED THEY GET A NOTICE THAT THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC HEARING THAT THEY CAN COME AND ADDRESS THE BOARD REGARDING THE IMPOSITION OF A COLLECTION ASSESSMENT.

THE COST IS THE SAME AS LAST YEAR WITH A RATE OF $154.44.

THIS REQUIRES A PUBLIC HEARING. >> ALL RIGHT.

WE OPEN IT TO PUBLIC HEARING FOR THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

ANYONE WHO NEEDS TO SPEAK FOR OR AGAINST.

>> YES, SIR. JAMES OTTO.

SORRY ABOUT THAT. I WAS A LITTLE STRESSED OVER THE PUBLIC COMMENT THAT HAPPENED EARLIER TODAY.

BUT 301 AND 10. THANK YOU FOR THAT SIR.

OKAY. SO, I'D LIKE TO KNOW IS SOME OF THE MONEY THAT THEY ARE GOING TO GET-GO TO FIX THE DRAIN LINES WHERE THEY'VE TAKEN THE TRUCKS OVER AND THEY'VE DESTROYED.

THE FOLKS THAT ARE COMING IN HERE AND THEIR ROADS ARE FLOODING AND WASHING OUT. DO WE EVER DOES THE COUNTY GET MONEY. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ONE OR TWO TRUCKS AND THEY ONLY HAD ONE TRUCK INSTEAD OF THE TWO.

I THINK THAT IS HOW IT WENT. IT'S BEEN QUITE A FEW YEARS.

IT'S LIKE A 10 YEAR CONTRACT. WHICH REALLY SHOULD BE LESSENED.

I REALLY WOULD LIKE TO SEE -- ALL OF THESE CITIZENS ARE COMING

[01:40:03]

THEY'VE HAD THESE BIG TRUCKS DRIVING IN OVER THE CONCRETE CULVERTS THAT THEY'VE JUST DESTROYED AND WE'VE TALKED ABOUT THIS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY I NEED TO GET THE PUBLIC REQUESTS THAT I DID AND I APPRECIATE THEM AND THAT YOU GOT THEM TOGETHER FOR ME.

THANK YOU. BUT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT DAMAGES THAT THIS COUNTY HAS ENDURED FROM THESE BIG TRUCKS WHEN THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO BE USING PICK UP TRUCKS TO GET THIS STUFF. IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET SOME KIND OF AMOUNT ON -- SURELY YOU KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'VE GIVEN YOU TO FIX SOME OF THE PROBLEMS ON THE ROADS AND I'M SURE MR. ROLLINS W WHO IS MY DISTRICT REPRESENTATIVE CAN GIVE YOU MORE INCITE ON THE DIRT ROAD CULVERTS SINCE HIS DISTRICT PRIMARILY IS THE ONE THAT HAS THE MOST AMOUNT OF DIRT ROADS.

SO ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU.

>> ANY OTHER COMMENTS? WE'LL CLOSE PUBLIC COMMENT.

BRING IT BACK TO THE BOARD. YOUR PLEASURE.

>> MR. CHAIR I MOVE APPROVAL. >> THERE IS A MOTION.

IS THERE A SECOND. >> SECOND.

[20.  5:00 PM or as soon thereafter as can be heard - Public hearing to consider adoption of Final Assessment Resolution creating the Clay County Subdivision Roads Maintenance Municipal Service Benefit Unit and to impose non-ad valorem special assessments for the provision of subdivision roads maintenance services therein. (F. Moss)]

>> AURALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. >> ALL OPPOSED?

>> THAT WAS A NO VOTE FOR GAVIN. >> THIS IS NOT THE TIME WE'RE TALKING ABOUT NEGOTIATING THE CONTRACT FOR THE ACTUAL PICK UP OF THE GARBAGE. I'VE GOT SOME OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE CESSATION OF THE RECYCLED STUFF AND WE HAD SOME ISSUES DURING THE HURRICANE CLEAN UPS. THOSE KIND OF ISSUES WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT WHEN IT COMES TIME TO RENEW OF THE CONTRACT FOR THE WASTE HAULER. THESE TWO ITEMS ARE JUST SO THAT THE COUNTY REPLENISHES ITS POT OF MONEY SO WE CAN PAY THE PEOPLE WHO DO THE PICK UP AND THE DISPOSAL.

SO IT DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PERFORMANCE OF THE

PEOPLE THAT WE HIRED. >> THAT IS A GOOD IDEA COMMISSIONER. I WOULD REMIND EVERYONE THIS PARTICULAR ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS PUBLIC COMMENTS IT'S NOT PUBLIC QUESTIONS. SO IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS WE WOULD ENTERTAIN THEM BUT NOT ON THIS PART OF THE AGENDA?

>> THIS IS A PUBLIC HEARING ON THE FINAL ASSESSMENT RESOLUTION FOR THE CLARET COUNTY SUBDIVISION ROADS.

OVER THE LAST YEAR WE'VE BEEN WORKING TO IMPLEMENT A NEW MSBU IN THE COUNTY WHICH WE'RE CREATING FOR THE PURPOSE OF ONGOING MAINTENANCE OF NEW SUBDIVISION ROADS THAT THE COUNTY ACCEPTS FOR MAINTENANCE PROVIDED AN MSBU IS CREATED TO PROVIDE FOR THE MAINTENANCE GOING FORWARD.

THERE ARE TWO COMPONENTS OF THE MAINTENANCE.

ONE WOULD BE ONGOING EVERY YEAR MAINTENANCE OF A POTHOLE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND THE OTHER COMPONENT IS A PORTION OF RESURFACING COSTS SPREAD OUGHT OVER 20 YEARS AND IF THE ROADS NEED RESURFACING THERE WOULD BE FUNDS SUFFICIENT TO PAY FOR THAT. THERE ARE SEVEN SUBDIVISIONS IN THIS MSBU IN THIS FIRST YEAR. EACH OF THEM HAS THE MAINTENANCE COST FOR BOTH ONGOING MAINTENANCE AND THE SURFACE PRO 3 FACING TAILORED TO THAT SUBDIVISION SO IT'S NOT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL COST. ONCE AGAIN LIKE WE DID WITH SOLID WASTE EVERYBODY WHO OWNED PROPERTY OR OWNED DEVELOPED PARCELS IN PLATTED SUBDIVISIONS WHERE THE COUNTY TOOK OVER THE MINUTES A NANCE OF THE ROADS HAS HAS RECEIVED A LETTER INFORMING THEM OF THE MEETING HERE TODAY. THE COST FOR EACH OF THE SUBDIVISIONS ARE INCLUDED IN THE MEMOS.

THEY RANGE FROM A HIGH OF 219 TO A LOW OF 69 FOR AROUND 100 UNIT

[01:45:06]

>> FRAN, WHAT IS THE TIME LINE FOR FUTURE BOARDS ABILITY TO ADJUST THESE FIGURES? EITHER UP OR DOWN.

>> FOR THIS PARTICULAR FISCAL YEAR STARTING OCTOBER 1 IT WOULD

BE SEPTEMBER 10TH. >> SO IT WOULD BE DONE ANNUALLY?

>> WE DON'T ANTICIPATE -- THE ANNUAL MAINTENANCE COMPONENT COULD BE ADJUSTED DEPENDING ON WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE GROUND.

THE RESURFACING IS AN EXPENSE THAT HAS BEEN PREDICTED DOWN THE ROAD. AND WE KNOW THE COST OF IT NOW REDUCED PRESENT VALUE AND ALL OF THAT.

SO THAT ONE PROBABLY WOULDN'T BE ADJUSTED EACH YEAR BUT YOU COULD PLAY WITH THE MAINTENANCE ROUTINE MAINTENANCE EACH YEAR.

>> UNDERSTAND. ALL RIGHT.

WE'LL OPEN THE PUBLIC HEARING UP ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

ANYONE WISHING TO COME SPEAK AT THIS TIME? THIS IS OUR FINAL PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS TOPIC.

IS THAT CORRECT? >> YES, SIR.

JAMES OTO -- IT'S NOT A QUESTION BUT I BELIEVE BECAUSE I KNOW YOU JUST SAID YOU DON'T DO QUESTIONS BUT THE MSBU TALKED ABOUT EARLIER TODAY WHERE THE CITIZENS WERE LIKE REALLY, REALLY UPSET THAT THEIR ROAD COST THEM LIKE CAN YOU GIVE US SOME FIGURES.

IT COST THEM DOUBLE OR TRIPLE. OR WHAT EXACTLY WAS THE COST.

THEY WERE JUST LIKE UPSET I BELIEVE IF I'M WRONG CORRECT ME BUT I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU EARLIER TODAY TALKING ABOUT MSBUS AND PEOPLE WERE UPSET ABOUT HOW MUCH IT ENDED UP COSTING THEM THROUGH THE END. THAT'S ABOUT ALL I HAD ON IT I GUESS. LET ME SEE.

YEAH. BETTER LEAVE IT AT THAT.

I DON'T WANT YOU TO GET MAD AT ME, SIR.

>> ANYONE ELSE TO SPEAK? SEEING NONE WE'LL BRING IT BACK

TO THE BOARD. >> I'D LIKE TO SAY IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME IN COMING TO THIS POINT WHERE WE CAME UP WITH THE THOUGHT PROCESS TO MOVE FORWARD WITH AN MSBU SO THE NEIGHBORHOODS ON THEIR OWN COULD PAY FOR THEIR OWN MAINTENANCE AND RESURFACING AND TAKE IT OFF THE BACKS OF THE HOME OWNERS SO AS NEW DEVELOPMENTS COME IN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO PAY FOR THEIR OWN. I THINK THERE IS A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION. A COUPLE OF PEOPLE CALLED ME ASKING WHY ARE WE APPROVING THE DEVELOPMENTS.

IT'S ALLOWING THEM TO COME TO GRIPS WITH HOW THEY ARE GOING TO DO THEIR MAINTENANCE OVER THE NEXT WHATEVER NUMBER OF YEARS AND IT WAS A BENEFIT TO THEM BECAUSE THEY WERE GOING TO PAY THEIR OWN RATE FOR ROAD MAINTENANCE.

THESE ARE NOT NEW DEVELOPMENTS THAT WE'RE APPROVING.

THEY ARE ALREADY THERE AND IN SOME CASES WE'RE JUST APPROVING THE FUNDS THAT THEY WILL BE COLLECTING ON THEIR OWN FOR THEIR OWN MAINTENANCE AND RESURFACING.

SO, I'LL MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> I'LL SECOND IT. >> I'D LIKE TO POINT OUT REALLY THIS WAS COMMISSIONER ROLLINS' PASSION WHEN HE FIRST GOT ON THE BOARD AND AT A BOY. THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS THAT THE COMMISSION HAS DONE FOR THE FUTURE OF CLAY COUNTY.

>> AND I AGREE. >> SINCE I'VE BEEN ON THE BOARD.

SO GOOD JOB. THANK YOU.

>> I APPRECIATE THAT. >> SO I GUESS YOU WILL BE VOTING

IN THE AFFIRMATIVE. >> YES.

[01:50:11]

>> MOTION TO APPROVE. AND A SECOND.

ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. SO DONE.

THANK YOU, FRAN. I THINK THAT ENDS -- JUST ADMINISTRATIVE NOTE HERE. SINCE WE'VE GOT NEW BOARD MEMBERS COMING ON AND WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING GROWTH TO SOME DEGREE OR ANOTHER. CHARISSE, COULD YOU JUST GIVE US AT THE NEXT MEETING TO GIVE US AN INFORMAL REPORT ON THE GROWTH NOW AND PROJECTED OVER THE NEXT 10 YEARS SOME KIND OF NUMBERS BASED ON WHAT YOU'RE SEEING. COULD YOU DO THAT FOR US.

AND AS I HAVE HEARD SOME NUMBERS AND THEN I'VE HEARD NUMBERS.

SO IF WE CAN GET THAT ON RECORD WE WOULD APPRECIATE THAT AND LET EVERYBODY KNOW WHAT DIRECTION WE'RE HEADING IN.

>> FASTEST GROWING COUNTY IN FLORIDA.

>> I KEEP HEARING THAT. OKAY.

AND IF WE COULD AGENDA THAT FOR OUR NEXT TIME I WOULD APPRECIATE

[14.  AK Associates Sole Source Purchase (T. Nagle)]

THAT. >> BACK TO ITEM 14 PICKING UP WHERE WE LEFT OFF. SOLE SOURCE PURCHASE.

SEEMS LIKE WE HANDLE THIS EVERY TIME.

HOW MANY MORE OF THESE DO YOU HAVE, TROY?

>> I DON'T KNOW. >> WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU

DID SOMETHING? >> I'VE DONE A LOT OF STUFF, SIR. I'VE GOT SIX OR SEVEN RIGHT NOW IN THE ACT FOR CARES ACT. THIS IS TO SECURE OUR EQUIPMENT WHICH IS THE SERVERS THAT OUR 9-1-1 EQUIPMENT RUNS ON.

WHILE THERE ARE OTHER PLACES THAT WE COULD BUY THE EQUIPMENT THROUGH THAT WOULD BE CHEAPER WE WOULD STILL HAVE TO SEND IT TO SOLO COME AND CERTIFY IT AT $32,000.

OUR BEST OPTIONS TO BUY DIRECTLY FROM THEM BECAUSE AT THE END OF

THE DAY IT WILL SAVE US MONEY. >> GOING TO HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT ONE. THAT IS A GREAT BUSINESS MODEL.

I'VE GOT TO CERTIFY IT AND I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN.

SO YOU BETTER BUY IT FROM ME. >> THAT IS A GOOD INCENTIVE.

ANY QUESTIONS FOR TROY ON THIS ITEM? WE DON'T NEED PUBLIC HEARING ON THIS.

SO THIS WILL BE A BOARD DECISION.

>> GO AHEAD. >> I MAKE THE MOTION TO APPROVE.

>> I'LL SECOND IT. >> MOTION AND SECOND.

FURTHER QUESTIONS. HEARING NONE WE'LL CALL FOR A VOTE. ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE.

OPPOSED. SO DONE.

YOU'RE GOOD TO GO, TROY. BRING THEM ON, BROTHER.

BRING THEM ON. MOVING DOWN TO COUNTY -- SPEAK

[COUNTY MANAGER/CLERK OF THE BOARD]

US TO. >> CHAIRMAN, BOARD I WANT TO THANK HEATHER AND JOHN THEY ARE NOT HERE RIGHT NOW BUT GIVING US THE BRIEF AND STAYING ON TOP OF BOTH SITUATIONS WITH REGARDS TO THE PANDEMIC. AND THE STORMS THAT ARE OUT THERE. I'M SURE WE'VE GOT SOME MORE TO APPROACH AND IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE COMMUNITY UNDERSTANDS TO BE READY AND PREPARED. I WANT TO CLEAR UP ONE OTHER THING WITH REGARDS TO THE CARE ACT FUNDING.

I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT WE WILL STAY ON TOP OF THIS.

WHEN YOU ADD TOGETHER THE WAREHOUSE THE PUBLIC HEALTH KEPT AND THE INCUBATOR EQUATE TO THE AMOUNT OF THE CIP THAT WE SET ASIDE FOR THAT. BEFORE WE GO FORWARD WITH ANY MORE -- WITH REGARD TO THESE PROJECTS WE'LL COME TO THE BOARD ON THE 8TH FOR APPROVAL. ALL OF THE OTHER AREAS THAT WE EXPECT REIMBURSEMENT WE EXPECT THAT REIMBURSEMENT AND I THINK THAT MAY HAVE BEEN A BIT OF CONFUSION.

EVERYTHING THAT IS OUT THERE HAS BEEN PANDEMIC RELATED.

THE COVID-19 AND DEEMED NECESSARY.

AND FOR US TO RESPOND BACK TO THAT WITH REGARDS TO MONIES.

AND BY ALL MEANS WE DEFINITELY WANT TO TAKE CARE OF OUR COMMUNITY OUR BUSINESSES AND OUR PROFITS THAT ARE OUT THERE ALONG WITH PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY AND THOSE IN GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES. I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE UNDERSTOOD THAT. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THAT IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS SOME QUESTION ABOUT BUYING BUILDINGS SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'VE GOT THAT COVERED.

[01:55:03]

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR THE COUNTY MANAGER.

MOVING ON TO THE COUNTY ATTORNEY.

NOTHING. ALL RIGHT.

WELL JUST ON THOSE TWO FOLKS' BEHALF I LIKE TO SAY ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD AND MYSELF I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE COUNTY ATTORNEY AND THE COUNTY ATTORNEY -- THEY'VE GOT GOOD STAFF WITH EVERYONE THEY WORK WITH DOING A GOOD JOB THROUGH THE YEAR AND THIS BUDGET WE'RE NOT OUT OF THE WOODS WOULD -- WITH IT YET BUT WE'RE PRETTY DARN CLOSE. I WOULD LIKE TO PUBLICLY THANK Y'ALL FOR YOUR EFFORT ON THAT. OKAY.

I THINK WE'RE DOWN TO PUBLIC COMMENTS.

[PUBLIC COMMENTS]

>> YES. JAMES OTTO.

THE MSBU YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT I KNOW THERE IS AN AREA THAT IS MOSTLY HARD ROADS. I DON'T THINK ALL OF THE HOUSEHOLDS ARE APPROVING THIS TAX THAT YOU'RE SLAPPING ON THEIR ROAD WHERE THEY LIVE. I WOULDY LIKE TO KNOW I'M PRETTY SURE IF THEY ARE NOT HOMESTEADED YOU CAN TRY AND TAKE THEIR PROPERTY AWAY FROM THEM. I AM NOT LOOKING FOR AN ANSWER RIGHT NOW. $45,000 FOR THE FAIRGROUNDS WHEN IT WAS $20,000 NOT TOO LONG AGO. THEY JUST UPPED IT LIKE A HUGE AMOUNT. ALL OF THE REST OF THE EVENTS WERE CANCELED BECAUSE THEY HAD COMMON SENSE.

THIS IS A PANDEMIC. WE DON'T HAVE FOOD TRUCKS OUT ON THE FAIRGROUND JUST DOING WHATEVER.

I WOULD RECOMMEND CITIZENS DON'T PARTICIPATE IN THE MOVIE NIGHT ON THE FAIRGROUNDS. THAT IS NOT SOMETHING WE NEED TO SUPPORT. SO I VOTED FOR A SHARE OF DANIELS. I AM SORRY HE IS NOT GOING TO BE HERE. BUT NOW THAT WE'RE HAVING A NEW BOARD IT'S NOT GOING TO BE AS IMPORTANT TO ME THAT HE WOULD BE HERE BUT HE WAS UNJUSTLY GONE AFTER.

IF YOU LOOK AT THAT VIDEO I SENT YOU ONE OF THE STATES WITH THE CORONAVIRUS DID 12% TOO MUCH MONEY AND THEY HAD TO GIVE THAT BACK TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SO I WANT YOU TO REMEMBER THAT WHEN YOU START TALKING ABOUT SPENDING $10 MILLION FOR A USED BUILDING AND I WANT YOU TO THINK ABOUT THOSE THREE BUILDINGS THAT ARE SITTING THERE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS.

EVERY NIGHT YOU GO TO BED WITH ALL OF THOSE HOMELESS PEOPLE THOSE VETS AND ALL OF THOSE OTHER PEOPLE THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO GIVE YOU INFORMATION FOR A THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT YOU CAN'T EVEN OPEN UP THE FAIRGROUNDS FOR TO LET THEM HAVE THE OPEN CANOPY AND TO LIVE A LITTLE BETTER. I THINK WE NEED TO LOOK AT THAT.

I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE VOTE FOR TAYLOR.

BUT I THINK HE IS TOO MUCH INTO FOOTBALL.

I DID VOTE FOR THE SUPERINTENDENT BUT IF I COULD GO BACK I WOULDN'T. BECAUSE LIKE I SAID AT THE FIRST PUBLIC COMMENT IT'S ALL RIGHT TO TALK ABOUT AND THIS BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS IN SPENDS MONEY AT THE SCHOOL BOARD THIS IS MY TIME TO TALK AND I DON'T APPRECIATE BEING CUT OFF AND THAT IS WHY I CAME IN TODAY. WHY IS A BOARD MEMBER WHISPERING IN THE CHAIR'S EARS? YOU'VE GOT A SUNSHINE LAW.

WHATEVER YOU'RE SAYING ON THIS BOARD I BELIEVE IS SUPPOSED TO BE HEARD BY THE REST OF THE BOARD.

SO, I HAVE REAL ISSUE WITH THE WAY THIS BOARD HAS BEEN CONDUCTING. HE JUST FLAT OUT DIDN'T ASK THE CLAIRE TO SPEAK. HE WENT OFF ON A TAN-TRUM ON ME.

WHICH WASN'T RIGHT. IT WASN'T.

YOU KNOW. THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT

ARE JUST NOT RIGHT HERE. >> ALL RIGHT.

MR. OTTO, YOUR TIME IS UP, SIR. I'M LIMITING YOU TO THREE MINUTES SO GO SIT DOWN. DID YOU HEAR WHAT I SAID?

[02:00:05]

[COMMISSIONERS' COMMENTS]

>> SHOUT OUT AND KUDOS TO HEATHER AND JOHN.

THEY'VE DONE A HECK OF A JOB WITH THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.

SPEAKING OF SCHOOLS. CAN WE GET AN UPDATE ON THE GUN RANGE? DID WE GET ANY BIDS GOING ON? ANYTHING HAPPENING?

>> SCHOOL IS BACK IN SESSION. BE CAREFUL.

A LOT OF BUSES OUT THERE. AND I WOULD ALSO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO CHRIS AND HIS CREW. THEY DID A GREAT JOB WITH THE ELECTION. HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO STAND AROUND AT SEVERAL POLLING PLACES AND IT WAS A WELL RUN ELECTION.

VERY GOOD. >> MR. --

>> MR. OTTO I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I HAVE NOT RANTED AT YOU IN YEARS AND I DON'T WANT TO WASTE MY TIME IN DOING THAT. WHOEVER YOU THOUGHT WAS YELLING AT YOU IT WAS NOT ME P. I DO WANT TO GIVE A SHOUT OUT TO OUR PUBLIC WORKS CREW. I WAS WALKING THEIR MORNING AND THEY WERE WORKING AROUND FLEMMING ALLEN HIGH SCHOOL AND DAILY FILLED ME IN. WE FORGET THAT THESE GUYS ARE OUT IN 90-DEGREE HEAT AND HUMIDITY.

WE TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT THINGS WORK AND GET REPAIRED.

THESE FOLKS ARE OUT THERE DOING THAT.

THEY WERE OUT THERE GETTING THE TRAFFIC STUDY AND COUNT IN AND A AROUND THE HIGH SCHOOL SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT YOUR CREWS VALUE WHAT THEY DO. THEY ARE OUT THERE IN THE HEAT AND THE HUMIDITY AND THE RAIN AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

THAT IS ALL I HAVE TODAY. >> THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.

>> COMMISSIONER HUTCHINS. >> MY SHOUT OUT IS TO DALE AND HIS CREW AS WELL. DALE AND HOWARD THAT I HAD CONSTITUENT. YOU'VE DONE MULTIPLE MEETINGS AND PERMANENTLY I WAS WORRIED WE WERE NOT GOING TO GET THIS ONE WORKED OUT. YOU GUYS BEND OVER BACKWARDS AND HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB. THAT IS WHAT BUILDS TRUST BETWEEN THE COMMUNITY AND THE GOVERNMENT.

I CANNOT TAKE CREDIT FOR THAT. YOU WORKED TIRELESSLY AND I APPRECIATE THAT. THAT IS ALL I HAVE.

>> COMMISSIONER ROLENS. -- ROLLINS.

ARE YOU STILL HERE? >> YES, SIR.

I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME CALL IN.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC BUT I'M ALLOWED TO NOTIFY THEM THAT I HAVE HAD COVID AND WAS DIAGNOSED TUESDAY OF LAST WEEK SO WANTED TO BE CAUTIOUS AND NOT GET ALL OF YOU INFECTED SO I KNOW YOU APPRECIATE THAT BUT THANKS FOR LETTING ME CALL IN. FEELING BETTER.

AND I THINK I SHOULD BE BACK AT IT AND I WILL BE BACK AT THE NEXT MEETING AND LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE IN PERSON.

>> THANK YOU. >> ONE QUICK FOOTNOTE FOR COMMISSIONER BOW LAUGH. KAREN WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT BE THE GUN RANGE WILL BE ADVERTISED NEXT THURSDAY.

>> OKAY. AND COMMENTS FROM THE CHAIR? I JUST WANT TO MAKE A REMINDER WE'RE HAVING A SOFT OPEN AT THE NEW VET CLINIC, VETERAN'S CLINIC NEXT MONDAY MORNING.

TO BE DONE REMOTELY FOR THE MOST PART BUT THOSE OF YOU ON THE BOARD THAT WANT TO SHOW UP. IT'S AT 9:30 I BELIEVE.

9:30 SO THAT HAS BEEN LONG ANTICIPATED AND LONG OVERDUE AND I THINK THAT IS GOING TO BE ONE OF THE ROSES IN OUR BOUQUET TO GET IT UP AND RUNNING. SOMETHING LIKE 30,000 VETERANS IN CLAY COUNTY THAT HAVE BEEN DRIVING TO GAINESVILLE.

AND JACKSONVILLE AND PARTS UNKNOWN TO GET SERVICE AND THIS WILL BE A REAL BOON FOR OUR COUNTY.

AND I DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN ASK GOD'S BLESSINGS
